MixMeister BPM Analyzer 1.0

Publisher's Description:

MixMeister BPM Analyzer - Get extremely accurate BPM counts for any song with this free tool.

MixMeister BPM Analyzer is a free program you can use to determine the exact BPM (beats per minute) of any song. The tags in most digital music files provide no BPM information at all, and others contain estimates which are often inaccurate. Whether you're choosing songs to mix together, building a playlist for a specific mood, or comparing different versions of a song, BPM Analyzer makes finding the correct BPM easy.

This is a simple program, but the BPM measurement engine is adapted from MixMeister Technology's award-winning line of pro DJ software, and it generates the most accurate BPM counts available anywhere.

MixMeister BPM Analyzer supports dragging and dropping files from Windows Explorer, and allows you to sort your music list by Title, Artist, or BPM. You can update ID3 tags in your music files with exact BPM information, print BPM reports for your entire music collection, or even export BPM counts for use in other programs like Excel or music databases.

This is a fully-functional version. You can use and distribute this software completely free of charge for non-commercial purposes.

Downloaded this free piece of software and was pleasantly surprised by the ease of use, and how effective it was at doing the job. Used it to find the BPM of around 200 tracks. Writes the BPM to the ID3 tag for you, which is a nice touch. Only a couple of the tracks came back with spurious BPM counts much higher than expected, so overall is highly effective at finding accurate BPM infomration. Can recommend it to anyone looking for a simple fast uncomplicated tool for this job.

Very nice little tool for remixing, although the accuracy does concern me slightly - I made a track in Cubase at 130bpm (with a constant, prominent, in time beat) and put it through MixMeister and it came out with 130.1bpm. I am not certain whether this is a fault with Cubase or MixMeister, but I would be inclined to assume the latter (what with one being sold for hundreds and the other for free). Still, a good program for what I use it for. Just be careful not to put a song with changing tempos through it, it seems to get very confused (understandably).

Opinion

Hi. I find your software very interesting BUT I don´t know if you realize that you start your program to analyze the BPM on the first bars of the music witch means that in many cases it gives the wrong BMP because the prelude (beginning of many songs) does not in all cases reflect the whole or the main song.
Example "Mambo Mas Que Nada (Radio Edition)" your BPM count is 100.01 real BPM is around 205 BMP
Thanking you
